yeah man, we’re all just dummies who don’t understand that you’re just judicial monks operating in a sphere of pure law [puts finger to ear] what’s this, clarence thomas gave another speech blaming progressives for hitler?

watching the willful and steady destruction of respect and faith in all three branches of government is kind of depressing not going to lie

Reminder that they’re going to desecrate the most sacred space in our nation’s capital, the Lincoln Memorial, by holding weigh-ins on its steps like it’s a goddamn New Orleans slave market.

We are surviving on debt, that’s not a good thing.

Trump said ballroom would be privately funded, which brings its own problems, but now his Senate allies want to stick taxpayers with the bill. Meanwhile, 35 million Americans live in poverty.

Let them eat ballroom.

“The dismantling of USAID, according to models from Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children,” Gawande wrote.” hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

OK, who did Ogles buy off and how much did it cost? That's not really a joke - that's how this administration operates.

No longer seen as the “Leader of the free world?” Heck, as long as Trump is in the White House, America is no longer even ON THE SIDE OF the free world.

Trump cites Venezuela as a success. The old regime is in place. Nothing much has changed. Except...Trump's pals now are getting a little taste. It's mafia imperialism. It's a shakedown. And for the right $$$ he would've given the same deal to Iran's leaders. He just wants his cut. Gotti-ism at work.

The USA has not only ceased being leader of the free world, it has ceased being a member of the free world. It betrays democratic allies and supports expansionist dictatorships. The only question Americans need to ask themselves is do they want this to continue?

When 6/10 Americans do not now think Trump has the capacity (mental sharpness) to do his job as President, that does seem remarkably undercovered in the US national media

Look if you've got a better way to run a country than "putting an illiterate octogenarian bigot on TV every few days to free associate and complain, and then everyone tries to figure out if it means we're about to start a war or not" I'd love to hear it. But the constitution says this is it.

Like I don't want to dismiss how life can be hard in 2026, but the past just sucked at a level that almost everyone in this era would find shockingly intolerable

He’s sick and needs to be stopped (gift article) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The kid-gloves treatment the media gave him FAR predated 9/11, going back to his time in the US Attorney's office (when he was being actively prepped/promoted as a prospect to run for office in NY by the GOP) bsky.app/profile/etmc...

There was no Giuliani "downfall." He was a clown and a fascist his entire career in public life. Eventually it got too much to bear/wasn't worth the trouble for the media to keep inserting the fake moderate problem-solver Giuliani into their stories instead of the evil clown he was in reality.

I’m sure is a coincidence he’s saying these things shortly before oil markets open

3/3 The Trump admin is no longer pretending. They are openly admitting to changing sides in the war. If this administration had been in power during World War II, Trump would have allied himself with Hitler and Nazism.

Wish This Was Posted Everywhere….

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Trump’s major policy unlock is that he discovered US politics runs on the honor system. The president can just ignore court rulings and what are they going to do, arrest him? The DOJ, FBI and Secret Service all work for the president and he can just tell them to STFU.

It sucks that EV adoption (fucking Tesla excluded) has been so poor in the United States. It's awful and it's detrimental to the environment and to the competitiveness of the US automotive industry going forward. The Big 3 is not to blame. Donald Trump is. 15/15

And what's the result? While GM hasn't made an official announcement, GM suppliers have stated that the second generation of the BT1 platform has been cancelled and there will be no follow-up vehicles once this generation runs its course. That's not GM's fault! 14/x

The lack of charging infrastructure is, you guessed it, a policy decision made by Donald Trump. Other countries are WAY ahead of the US in terms of charging availability and charging standardization. It's common in the US to go to a charging station only to find none of the chargers operable. 11/x

But I was told that Trump would be good for the economy

every QAnon influencer, seeing this post: This is it. President Trump is speaking to us directly. The storm is HERE. Trump, posting: that's me in the picture

Trump repeatedly bragging about being asked to take the dementia screener is like a work colleague bragging about having to take daily court-ordered drug tests.

One urgent takeaway from all this is that state legislative races just got even more important. They will help decide whether Dems can prevent the GOP from locking in a near-permanent majority. And gov races in places like Georgia are now hugely consequential. newrepublic.com/article/2098...

I’m tired of living in a country that’s ruled by a dying pedophile who pretends to be king.

A few ideas for reform. Feel free to add your own. Give Congress power to override a presidential pardon within 60 days by simple majority. Expand House by 100 seats. Expand USSC to 13 justices (one for each circuit) Maximum age limit for Congress. 75 Amendment to override Trump v US (immunity)

the basic reality is that this court has already destroyed the united states as a functional republic and none of the reforms necessary to rebuild it will survive the court as it currently exists any democrat not committed to expanding the court is not serious about fixing this country

It would be less insulting if they would just wire the money to the Trumps directly and spare us the content and the entire fake ecosystem of critics that are supposed to be praising the content. Just do the bribes and leave us alone already

A reminder that the Republican Party, particularly its Senators and Congressional Representatives, support and encourage Donald Trump. They could remove him in a day if they felt otherwise.

Cannot stress enough that what's happening now and will accelerate over next few weeks is a big spike in fuel costs paid for by every American that will flow *directly* into insane, unprecedented profits for American oil companies. They're going to be the big winners of this.

Enten: "Trump's numbers on inflation aren't just the worst for him ever. They're the worst I've seen for any president. They're worse than Biden's worst & worse than Carter's pre-1980 election. On the cost of living, just 9% of indies & 39% (!) of the GOP say we're on the right track."

Like, nobody is safe now. If anyone ever was. And it was largely a result of accelerationism by those whose entire political compass became centered around rejecting the idea that people who they see as beneath them are deserving of liberty, dignity & protection.

I recall when a friend of mine back during the BLM movement told me that if people reject the cause then the logical conclusion is that No Lives Matter & I thought I understood what he meant philosophically but living through the explosion of global suffering since I see now that he meant materially

"The point of the indictment is to demonstrate that the United States Department of Justice is wholly an instrument of Donald Trump’s senescent pique" www.popehat.com/p/the-comey-...

are they in the new york times with line drawing portraits right now

Ukraine is putting relentless pressure on Israel now. The Netanyahu government has made a catastrophic error by siding with Putin's dictatorial government.

Impeachment doesn’t help Trump. Impeachment makes it clear that one party stands for law and order and the other stands for criminality. Even a failed impeachment is a statement: we stand for America, they stand for Trump. There is no downside to impeachment other than we should keep doing it.

Yes, but what to do? Seriously. One man is effectively holding the world economy to the ransom of however his demented mind works. I struggle to think of any reasonable historical parallel. And he has built a governing system to insulate himself from pressures.

Hasn’t whined about needing a ballroom to feel safe

Apart from the loss of the East Wing, the disproportionate architecture, all that, the political issue behind the ballroom is the president can and should never leave the White House, and the Nation should come to the president.

Sen. Lindsey Graham R-SC, Sen. Katie Britt R-AL, and Sen. Eric Schmidt R-MO unveil plans to authorize $400 million in taxpayer funds to pay for a new White House ballroom.
